HVAC Repair & Service
When your system isn’t keeping up, Embers Heating and Cooling delivers fast, precise HVAC repairs you can trust. As a local, family-owned company in Suffolk, VA, we combine certified technicians, thorough diagnostics, and clear communication to get your home comfortable again—without guesswork or surprises.
We diagnose before we replace. Many breakdowns trace back to issues that careful testing can catch quickly. Our technicians start with a full system evaluation: measuring amp draw on motors, comparing capacitor readings vs. rated, inspecting and tightening electrical connections, and checking refrigerant pressures and superheat/subcool on cooling systems. For furnaces, we clean the flame sensor, verify manifold gas pressure, and confirm safe ignition and venting. For heat pumps, we test defrost mode and sensors to ensure reliable winter performance. This methodical approach pinpoints the real fault so you only pay for what you need.
Common problems we fix every day
AC not cooling or taking too long to recover after noon heat
Short cycling, hard starts, or breaker trips
Uneven temperatures between rooms
Water around the air handler or clogged drain lines
Loud or vibrating outdoor units
Furnace won’t light, produces cool air, or shuts down mid-cycle
Thermostat misreads and control issues
Repair first, replace only when it’s smart. If a repair is the best value, we’ll explain why and show you the readings we took. If age, efficiency, or part availability make replacement the smarter investment, we’ll lay out options and pricing clearly so you can decide with confidence.
